oval slices sourdough or challah (egg) bread

1/2
pound deli tuna salad

1/4
cup milk

1

tablespoons butter



Preparation:

Place 1 slice cheese on each of 2 bread slices. Spread tuna salad evenly over two slices of cheese. Top each with remaining cheese and bread slices.

2.
Combine milk and egg in shallow bowl; stir until well blended. Dip sandwiches in egg mixture, turning to coat well.
